Sonnen (30-15-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) and Jackson (37-13 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) also made $100,000 per round for their three-round headliner, banking a total of $300,000 each, according to disclosed salaries released by the California State Athletic Commission, which regulated the event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses.

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
